thanksgiving pizza

It's kind of late me posting a Thanksgiving recipe of any kind, but better late than never, amirite? This recipe is another way to use up any leftover ingredients from Thanksgiving dinner(who knows, maybe you froze a lot of leftovers right after Thanksgiving and you don't know a recipe to use them all in?)! 

This is my version of all my favorite foods to eat on Thanksgiving on one homemade pizza. I normally don't like gravy but I couldn't spread just cranberry sauce(which is actually a gelatin and not a sauce) onto the crust, so I mixed it with some gravy. 

The best part a green bean casserole is not the green beans- it's the French-fried onions on top! Similarly, the best part of candied yams isn't the yams(though those are good too)- it's the marshmallows on top! 

Unlike other Thanksgiving pizza recipes you can find on the Internet, this one has a crust made from sweet potato flour, which I found out existed when I looked at this good website: ​http://www.anti-grain.com/index.html

​I found a similar product on Amazon that I used: 

HELPFUL LINK: Sweet Potato Flour: https://www.amazon.com/Z%C3%B3calo-Peru-Sweet-Potato-Flour/dp/B0032BYMJE/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481402909&sr=8-2&

Though I tasted more pumpkin than sweet potato in the final product- I used canned pumpkin in the making of the crust, because a traditional Thanksgiving dinner isn't complete without a pumpkin pie! 

You will need: 

For the cooking equipment: 

A large bowl
A baking sheet
Parchment paper
Nonstick cooking spray
A medium bowl

For the crust: 

1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup sweet potato flour(see HELPFUL LINK)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of allspice

To top the pizza: 

Gravy to taste(I used turkey gravy)
Cranberry sauce to taste
2-4 oz. cold cut turkey breast
Stuffing
French-fried onions
Marshmallows

How to make the crust: 

1. Put all the crust ingredients into a large bowl Knead the dough on a kitchen counter or in the large bowl until the dough is orange in color. 
2. Put parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. 
3. Put the dough onto the parchment paper. Flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thick either with the palm of your hands or a rolling pin. 
4. Bake the crust in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10-20 minutes, or until the dough is fully cooked. 

To top the pizza: 

1. Mix the gravy and cranberry sauce together in a medium bowl until the cranberry sauce has been mashed and incorporated into the gravy to form something that looks like s sauce. 
2. Pour only enough gravy-cranberry sauce onto the sweet potato flour crust to leave the edges of the crust uncovered. 
3. Top the gravy-cranberry sauce with the turkey breast, stuffing, French-fried onions, and marshmallows. 
4. Bake in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 3-5 minutes. 
5. Bon appetit!
